Faded Solitude

Story

Meet Lorry, a shy yet curious young girl who lives alone with Helina in a small cabin located... well, Lorry doesn't know exactly. In fact--besides some occasional glances through the window in her bedroom, peering into an opaque snowstorm--Lorry has no idea what the world even looks like. Her entire life, for as long as she can remember, has been this cabin.

Helina say's it's not safe outside and to never leave--but she doesn't say why. All exiting doors are always securely locked; never once has Lorry seen one open.

For days, weeks, months and maybe even for years, both girls live day-to-day repeating the same activities: eating the same meals, enjoying the same books, living their own small solitary version of groundhog day--that both of them are aware of. It's as if time were standing still... or perhaps it never existed in the first place? Even the hands from the clocks are oddly missing, and the calendar only shows one month. But what does it matter, since Lorry has never understood the meaning of time anyway?

If it weren't for a mysterious, reoccurring nightmare plaguing her dreams every night then perhaps this life would be easy to accept, but this dream leads Lorry to question her existence and her curiosity drives her to understand the world beyond the cabin. It isn't until a strange portrait appears in the cabin one day, that Lorry finally has the opportunity to learn more--and what she discovers will unravel everything about the woman she lives with and the world she's trapped in...

Art

Faded Solitude is an atmospheric adventure game with a gritty pencil-drawn art style!

All of our art is hand drawn by a professional artist located in Denmark to create a surreal and unique art style which shapes the universe created in Faded Solitude.

Puzzles

• Portrait jigsaw puzzles -- place the jigsaw pieces in the correct order to reveal the grim and obscure picture hidden underneath and then enter a new world!

• Hidden objects -- the world of faded solitude is filled with items which can help you solve puzzles and there are also notes containing important lore, describing our unique characters and the universe they reside in.

• Use tools to progress -- find tools which can be used in multiple puzzles; allowing Lorry to cut, chop and smash her way through obstacles!

• Inventory combinations -- combine inventory items with one another to create new items or to reveal an item inside another.

• Scenery combinations -- combine items from Lorry's inventory with intractable objects spread throughout the world.

Dialogue and hints

Using Lorry's unique spin wheel, select from a number of options which will help Lorry understand more about her surroundings; speak with NPC's, pick up items, and investigate objects and maybe you might gain a hint!

• Dynamic hints -- investigating the same item again after learning something new might yield a different dialogue response from Lorry, so keep investigating!

• Dynamic dialogue -- NPC's can help guide Lorry. Return to them after learning something new and they might also have something new!

• Dynamic inventory hints -- not only does Lorry store items in her inventory, she can analyze them as well. Right click items in her backpack to reveal a hint or perhaps a poetic description of the item you're looking at.

• Rich variety in writing -- from the small and insignificant cracks, to the intriguing items hung on walls and everything in between, not only is there attention to detail in our art, but Lorry has unique dialogue for everything you see!
